GB News: 'I want to live in a world where I'm judged not by my skin, but on the content of my character'

The Metropolitan Police is offering specialized workshops for ethnic minority and female candidates to aid in their promotion, which has sparked controversy. Critics argue that this approach implies that these candidates require extra help due to their race or gender, potentially reinforcing stereotypes and resentment among white candidates.

Former officers have expressed concern that such initiatives may not address the root causes of promotion disparities, suggesting that individual racism, rather than institutional factors, should be the focus of reform. The Met aims to create a diverse workforce that reflects London, but some believe that this strategy may inadvertently perpetuate division and victimhood rather than fostering genuine equality.

Times Of Israel: Backchannel helped secure release of American-Israeli hostage, sources tell ToI
Backchannel helped secure release of American-Israeli hostage, sources tell ToI
A backchannel mediated by a third party facilitated the release of American-Israeli hostage Edan Alexander from Hamas. The mediator conveyed messages between Hamas and U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff, urging unconditional release while indicating that it could lead to broader negotiations for a ceasefire in Gaza.

Hamas initially resisted unconditional release, proposing conditions instead. However, they eventually agreed to release Alexander without preconditions, signaling a willingness to collaborate with the Trump administration for a long-term ceasefire. Israel temporarily halted some military operations to allow for the safe release.
